Wait, unless you know Russian language. The OBT version won't have some of the Endgame features yet ( like Sieges, Player factions and some other stuff ) - they will be adding them in the months to come.
The character creation is open for those with Early Access, OBT starts on Sunday 10AM Moscow time again for those with Early Access.
Most of the international ArcheAge communities decided to play on:
Server 4 - "TARH" "Tayang"
ArcheAge, Black Desert and Bless videos InporylemQQ Youtube
Can't wait till the 22nd
I hope we don't have to go through too many hoops to get in!
If the EU Rift servers are anything to go by you'll still have to learn Russian...
There is no date for release and Russian companies just love to make OBT as long as possible. Why? Because they charge you as much as in released game, but if something goes wrong they can say "look, it's OBT, things suppose to go wrong during this time".
And i'm not impressed with the game actually. For the most part it looks like Lineage + Rift. Been there, saw that.
You also got 40 days of premium
In addition to that 40 days of premium you'll get this ingame items:
1) Title "?????????????" ("pioneer" in Russian). This title will give your char +1 to all stats.
2) "??????? ?????????????" ("Pioneer's cape" in Russian). This cape adds +1 to all stats.
3) "??????? ???????????" ("Heraldry ink" in Russian). Used to create your own coat of arms.
4) "??????????? ???????" x 5 ("Indelible ink" in Russian). Used to create an ornament on your cloak or sails.
P.S. Ok, forum doesn't support cyrillic so enjoy this question marks instead
Guys, a full English patch is up and running, translating almost everything in-game.
Details - http://archeagesource.com/topic/2645-english-patch-wip-credit-pengee-yecats-llexx/
Latest Working link - https://mega.co.nz/#!WpwCWARI!Jl7X4TQyQLdFBrwP4o7SUfW7m9G_h5WLaCMVqCVqYgM
So for those that have tried the Russian version already, is it worth it to download, translate, and pay into?
Is it legit and safe for others to use? Pay into game, etc?
I have already made a mail.ru account and 3/4ths download done. Just wonder if it will take another year for NA/EU release or should i just jump into the Russian version head on.
I take it Russia doesnt mind all of us NA/EU players bogging down their servers?
I mean once NA/EU game is released may mean a huge drop in their player base and almost cause lot of havoc for them.
Just curious, but probably will give it a go anyways.
Edit.
Also for the patch to english, must you do that every time you launch the game or just the first time?
And what servers are most EU/NA going to. I dont mind to try to learn another language, but when on the go and in the midst of battle i dont think my trusty translator will work well lol.
